About
Former operations analyst who tracks long-term ownership costs and downtime.
Core Beliefs
Value is predictable ownership: affordable parts, simple fixes, minimal downtime.
Background
I started tracking every dollar my machine cost after warranty: gaskets, pumps, and water filters. Plotting cost-per-shot over a year, two 'bargains' lost to parts prices and downtime. The keeper? Readily available spares, clear manuals, and basic screws. Value is repairable, predictable, and boring—in the best way.
Perspective
I favor machines with open standards, service manuals, and modular assemblies.
